Everyday, street vendors are criminalized in Los Angeles. Join us at 10am tomorrow in City Hall when the City Council will be voting to ask the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to legalize street vending.

The remains of the city gates of Paykent. Note the ruined watchtower and collapsed mudbrick in the left frame. This city approach would have been monitored by city guards, who were paid one coin per day to keep the peace. Ancient travelers to the city of Paykent would have used this entrance and stopped to register with guards, who would grant entrance to the city, before travelling to the temple or citadel or city center. I was told that watermelon seeds were found in context with this entrance, suggesting that in between granting access to Paykent, guards would have been munching on watermelon during hot summer days (just like everyone in Uzbekistan does today). #paykent#archaeologyiscool#snapshotintime#ruins#ancientpaths#grandentrances#oldcity#guardsguards#walloftext#uzbekistan#adventuress#hangoveradventures#desert#deserted
